Oh, I don't think it is funny at all. Those bums are spoiling the system for those who pay for it. There is a fee for riding the trolley, we should exclude, as a group, those unwilling to pay the fare.

The contact with clean people can happen on free public streets and parks. The benefit that contact may or may not have does not trump that nice elderly man's right to not be hastled on the trolley he paid to ride on. Will he ride it again? What if it becomes full of bums staying warm and dry so no others have room to board? The trolley is not a shelter.
